BY BRIAN CORBETT Warning to bank robbers: Stay out of Plymouth. For the second time in less than a year, a suspect in a robbery of a Plymouth community bank was captured less than a week later. Elijah Washington, Jr., a 28-year-old Detroit resident, was arrested by the FBI at noon Monday in Detroit after allegedly robbing the Standard Federal Savings and Loan, located at the corner of Ann Arbor and Haggerty roads, at approximately 1 p.m. Friday, according to FBI Special Agent Sean Nicol and Plymouth Township Police. As it turned out, the third time was the charm for law enforcement officials. “He’s robbed three banks,” said Nicol. “One in October, one in December and the one this past Friday. He had no criminal record. He was a real good guy. I actually felt sorry for him. He was in the military for six years. He just had money problems. It was a bad decision, and it ruined his life.” Washington is accused of robbing Standard Federal of $2,500 dollars as well as two Michigan National banks, one in Dearborn and one in Southfield. Nicol said the FBI had been tracking Washington since he went to a Michigan National Bank in Redford and tried to exchange bills marked with a dye from his December robbery. “We ran his social security num ber to see if he had recorded any income,” Nicol said, “and he did some place off Telegraph (Road.) We went there and they said he had disap peared in October, which was the time of the first bank robbery, but we had some addresses for him. We knew he was in town. When he hit Friday, we knew we had to do something.” So Nicol visited Washington’s uncle and parents. Washington’s father then called his youngest son who agreed to page Washington while the FBI waited. “That was it,” said Nichol. ‘There was no resistance at all. He was really good.” The robbery marked the second bank theft in the Plymouth communi- Please see pg. 3 Chamber to plan future The future of the Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce will be planned Jan. 17.

Whatever the risks, many customers have returned excited over the results that they “Whenever anything is in the media, there is always a big run on it,” said Healthways have gotten from the homeopathic remedies — results not found with prescription drugs, employee Jean Ferguson. according to Ferguson. However, emergency physician Dr. John Wlezniak of St. Mary Hospital in Livonia, warns that there has been little research done on many of the products that have recently drawn so much media coverage. The homeopathic products are not subject to the same governmental regulations as prescribed medications are. “They are not government regulated for purity. You could be putting potentially harm ful substances into your body,” said Wlezniak. Despite a lack of governmental control, many people have chosen to seek self-medica tion rather than the traditional medical treatment. Wlezniak said that he feels many people are resorting to homeopathic remedies because they are cheaper than going through the medical establishment, and many do not have health insurance. Wlezniak added that some may feel as if traditional medicine has not come through with a solution for them. “People are tired of taking prescription drugs and not getting results,” said Ferguson. Wlezniak, while not denying that some homeopathic remedies might be effective for some, stressed the importance of traditional medication. He was quick to point out that these remedies should never be used as a substitution to conventional medical treatment, especially if there is a known cure. “I wouldn’t recommend them (homeopathic treatments), especially if there was some thing that I could offer,” said Wlezniak, “maybe in conjunction with traditional treatment. I would never abandon traditional medicine.” Wlezniak does admit to being more open minded to homeopathic “cures” if it were for What makes your Crier carrier so special?
